Excerpt from The Control of Quality in Manufacturing
It is well-nigh impossible to pass a store window, or to ride in a street car, or to glance at the pages of a magazine without encountering the word quality. Yet there is no formal literature about quality in manufacturing nearly all Of our attention having been devoted to quantity. Therefore, in constructing this book the introductory chapters, I and II, discuss the general relationships Of quality to manufacturing.
When it comes to controlling quality, inspection plays a large part. Chapters III to XI, accordingly, are intended to insure a clear understanding of the various forms of inspection. In sketching the relationship Of inspection to the control Of the flow Of work in process, the idea Of plan ning with material in physical form is advanced as an advantageous extension of the usual planning systems.

Excerpt from The Control of Quality in Manufacturing
There is an erroneous but wide-spread belief that quality and high cost go hand in hand. The existence of this feeling is readily explained, because it is the general practice to advertise quality as something worth paying for. From the purchasers standpoint this is very true, but it does not follow by any means that quality is costly to produce. Very high-grade "quality" products are often high priced, but lower grade and less expensive articles also possess their own quality standards.
In the factory, quality is a costly thing to neglect, yet it is the usual experience to find a disproportionate emphasis being placed upon quantity of output, in the effort to effect economies. Often this is not so much due to lack of proper intent as it is to the failure to realize what the quality approach means. To establish and maintain definite and sensible standards of quality requires care and thoroughness. These are the very things which remove obstacles to production and thus decrease costs - quite independently of whether the product is high grade or low grade, high priced or low priced.
In the following pages, presenting the results of an intensive study of quality in manufacturing, it has been the intention to show that the control of quality is the correct starting point for economy (as well as to obtain higher standards for their own sake), since if quality is under positive and continuous control, increase of output follows as a by-product advantage.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book deconstructs the long-held belief that exceptional quality in product manufacturing is inherently expensive. Instead, it argues that stringent quality processes and attentive workmanship can optimize efficiency, increase production, and reduce costs. The author provides frameworks to implement quality control measures throughout the production process, from the drawing board to the shipping floor, by controlling the use of materials, processes, and labor. These meticulous quality control systems improve the quality of the finished product and reduce the number of defective units that require costly rework or replacement. This book is a valuable tool for anyone interested in the principles and techniques of quality control, including managers, engineers, production supervisors, and quality control personnel. It is a well-structured analysis that will appeal to readers who seek to optimize their manufacturing processes, leading to increased production and reduced costs. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
